east of Los Angeles early Friday morning on suspicion of driving under the influence, authorities said.

Carrillo, 43, was stopped at 1:35 a.m. and arrested a few hours later, according to inmate records posted by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.

Police responded around 1:30 a.m. to 6215 Monterey Road, where a motorist had struck two parked cars, according to a law enforcement source familiar with the incident. An LAPD spokesperson released an arrest summary stating that Carrillo was cited for driving under the influence and being involved in a traffic accident while having a high blood alcohol content.

LAPD Captain. Kelly Muniz said a suspect arrested with a high blood alcohol level is someone who is “double the legal limit or more.”

Representatives for Carrillo did not immediately comment on the arrest.

Carrillo was elected in 2017 to represent an Eastside Assembly district. She is now one of about a dozen people running in the March city election to replace Councilman Kevin de Len in a district that stretches from downtown to El Sereno and Eagle Rock.

The incident comes about six months after another state lawmaker was arrested on drunken driving charges. In May, Sen. Dave Min (D-Irvine) was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence and released from the Sacramento County Jail.

Min later confirmed he was cited for a DUI offense and said his behavior was “irresponsible.”
